John, 

As Ceres marks its 35^th year, we find ourselves at a moment of both reflection and urgency.  

It’s a hard message to acknowledge as we approach Earth Day, but we cannot ignore the stark realities before us. The world is not on track to meet the internationally recognized goal of limiting global temperatures from rising to catastrophic levels.    

Should we let that paralyze us? NO! Because we are confident that the economy can get on the right track. To make that happen, we need your support.  

John, your generosity can be a catalyst for change.  

When you contribute today, you’ll help turn goals into action to both protect the planet and strengthen the economy. 

We need to make sure each and every company and investor we work with creates explicit, metrics-driven climate transition plans with accountability built in—as fast as possible.  

Together, we know we can do it. Because for more than three decades, Ceres has been advancing market-based solutions and accelerating private sector leadership to enable the transition to a clean energy economy.       

In just the last year and a half, the historic Inflation Reduction Act was adopted, two groundbreaking climate disclosure laws were passed in California, and the Securities and Exchange Commission introduced the first-ever mandatory climate risk disclosure rule.  

With each of these historic achievements, Ceres played a key role in mobilizing the voice and influence of leading investors and companies to drive historic climate action. Now we must redouble our efforts to defend these policies against attacks and ensure that they deliver on their promise. 

To power our work, I'm thrilled to share exciting news: from now through Earth Day, April 22, your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000! 

Your support will go twice as far in driving meaningful change and ensuring that Ceres has the resources needed to continue our vital work. 

Earth Day is the perfect opportunity to up the game and strive for more wins. 

Are you with us? Make that gift today. 

With deep appreciation, 

P.S. I do this work for my two kids, my community, and this Earth that sustains us and allows us to prosper. I hope you’ll step up for your loved ones with a gift to Ceres today. Don’t forget, a generous donor is matching all gifts up to $50,000 by the end of April.
